Hotel berhampiran Kandang Messi Farm, Borobudur

Villa Borobudur was our second accommodation in Indonesia and it was the one we liked best. Since we arrived at the parking where our driver and guide left us because no car is allowed on the narrow and steep road to the entrance of the resort , I realised its beauty : Up the hill surrounded by a deep forest in front of the valley where Borobudur temple lies. The whole resort has an authentic Javanese style : we were in Borobudur suite which we found really charming : large, with a carved Javanese ceiling over the bed and a great attention to details.The bathroom was charming as well. The suite is on top of the hill completely surrounded by the lush jungle . The only sound was the one of the many birds . From our windows we could see the Borobudur temple : amazing! We loved the swimming pool facing the valley where the temple is. We were welcomed by a kind and lovely staff and were offered a very tasting ginger beer ! The sitting area and the bar were two “floors” down our suite and also from there the view was amazing. We dined at the restaurant in an open area always with the same lovely view of the valley and we tasted delicious Javanese food . Silence, relax , privacy and charm : this is what we were looking for and this is what villa Borobudur gave us . Anna and Francesco from Italy

This hotel is one of the best place we have been in Indonesia. We loved the set-up, as if it has been a colonial governmental palace. It isnt, however. It is new built. The place feels grand and is grand. The swimming pool is nice and gives lots of room to move. The suite is great, very big. The people are just wonderful. The Borobudur very close indeed, easy access therefore. Food is good enough. Breakfast is OK.

Ini yang kedua kalinya, secara umum kamar, fasilitas dan layanan baik. Hanya ketika tamu penuh, penyediaan breakfast nya terhambat. Awal informasi jam 7 pagi tersedia, baru bisa makan jam 7.30... Overall Wahid Borobudur tempat menginap yang cukup baik dan nyaman....

Excellent design of rooms as well as other buildings. A good swimming pool and sit outs. Restaurant provides food for all types. Has a great support system like hotel pick up and drop, hiring of cars/jeeps for sight seeing. Has other restaurants around within walking distance as well as upscale properties for change. Staff is smiling and helpful, honest and competent. Carry your own tipple as no wine shops around.

Despite its non-functioning website and wrong phone numbers everywhere (the one you want is +62 821-3476-2834) this place does exist and is operating. A mixed experience. The pros are that it’s an attractive and peaceful place with plenty of garden in which to sit and read; the staff are lovely; and the Indonesian food was excellent. The solicitous owner is keen to make your time enjoyable. He also immediately understood my veganism and ensured a steady stream of increasingly esoteric and mostly delicious vegan Indonesian dishes from the kitchen for me, which I appreciated. The cons include that it’s a little dilapidated, the room could done with redecoration and rewiring, and are musty upholstery and soft furnishing that don’t really work in gardens and pavilions in a hot, humid climate. Food and drinks, though excellent, are overpriced. The owner’s enthusiasm for looking after you is a little overwhelming and misjudged. And we were unimpressed by his charging us, for a third night, double what we’d paid online for the first two nights, having said he’d give us a ‘fair price’ for that extra night — a figure that was reduced only marginally when I raised an eyebrow, making the whole stay frankly overpriced for what it was. Lonely Planet gives this place a star and writes of a ‘magnificent garden’ and a ‘magical retreat and spa’. If those were once true they aren’t now, and it’s far from Lonely Planet ‘star’ quality. It’s not bad, but you can find more magic for less money at many mid-range rural guesthouses around Indonesia. Walking around, it looked like there may be a fair few in Borobudur. Note that the temple is no longer open on Mondays, and you can only walk around the base of it at the moment — not that the organisation that runs it thinks this is information worth mentioning on its website (where they’re even happy to sell you a Monday ticket online). The temple is, despite all that, astonishing and well worth travelling to see.

this is a cleans and cheap hotel, comfortable staycation..service excelent, near from borobudur temple.. i will come here as soon as possible with my family. very polite staff, and so many food street near this hotel!

Very nice hotel, with very friendly staff

Pelayanan untuk breakfast harusnya menyesuaikan dengan jumlah tamu. Pada musim liburan mestinya menambah personel chef-nya dan jumlah makanan.

This is not a brand new resort, but it continuous to expand. They now offer vila with private pool as well as new executive room. I stayed at the executive room with private porch situated in front of the main restaurant. The area of the resort itself is a downhill slope facing the Kulon Progo river. You can enjoy some activities next to the river such as badminton, chess and also rafting along the river. With a large area of the resort, in my opinion, they need to increase the number of staff especially in regard to cleaning and house keeping so that the cleanliness will be maintained better and any room services will be quicker. The bed is comfortable and towel is fresh. They offer a basket of local fruits which is also a nice touch. It is worth to note that since this location is in a downhill slope, the pathway is a little bit steep, however a shuttle bus is always ready to pick you up, and transports you up and down within resort.

Sangat nyaman sekali menginap. Harga terjangkau tapi tampilan seperti hotel bintang 3 atau bintang 4. Lokasi strategis juga untuk para travel atau wisatawan yang ingin explore di Magelang, fasilitas cukup lengkap,, AC juga dingin Nyamann. Top pokonya. Terimakasih Ahava Hotel-
